Mixing the pink dough
Wash the beetroot, chop it into small pieces, and then blend it in a blender until smooth. After that, strain to get 50ml of beetroot juice.
Divide 200g of flour into 2 equal parts.
In part 1, add the beetroot juice, 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, 25g of sugar, 100g of flour, and 2g of yeast, and mix well.
Knead the dough into a smooth ball, then use food wrap to cover it and let it rise for about 1 hour.

Do the same with the remaining flour, mix the ingredients including: 100g of flour, 2g of yeast, 50ml of fresh milk, 25g of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, mix well and let it rise for about 1 hour.
After the dough has risen, divide each block of white and red dough into 9 equal parts and roll them into balls to get 18 pieces of dough.
-
Steaming the buns
Take 3 portions of red dough and 3 portions of white dough. Roll each portion thinly, then stack them alternately in red and white layers.
After stacking, use a rolling pin to roll the dough thinly again, then roll it up and cut it in half, resulting in 2 rose-shaped buns. Continue this process until all the dough is used.
Once completed, place a steaming pot on the stove, add water to the bottom of the pot, arrange the buns in the steamer, and steam the buns for 30 minutes from the time the water boils until cooked.
Additionally, you can use a rice cooker to steam the buns very conveniently!

Prepare the beetroot
Peel the beetroot, wash it clean, then cut it into small cubes and put it in a blender to puree, then filter to get 80ml of beetroot juice.
-
Mix and knead the dough
Prepare a basin, then add flour and yeast, mix well and then add 50g of sugar and mix well again.
Next, prepare a mixture of fresh milk and beetroot juice to blend and pour into the flour just mixed, using a whisk to mix the dough evenly.
Then use your hands to knead the dough until it is evenly colored for about 25 – 30 minutes, then add 10ml of olive oil and knead for another 30 minutes until the dough is smooth and not sticky to hands.
-
Proof the dough
After kneading, shape the dough into a round ball, wrap it with plastic wrap, and let it proof for about 60 minutes until it doubles in size.
-
Shape the buns
Once the dough has risen, take it out, flatten it, and knead for an additional 20 minutes. Start cutting the dough into small pieces of about 9 – 10 grams to create the petals.
Roll the dough into evenly sized round pieces, stack 6 round pieces and place a piece of dough in the center as the flower’s stamen, then roll it into a ball as shown.
Then cut the dough ball in half to create 2 beautiful rose-shaped buns, repeating until all the dough is used up.
-
Steaming the Rose Bun
Place the flower-shaped dough pieces on parchment paper, put the steaming pot on medium heat, and arrange the buns in the steamer. Steam the buns for about 45 minutes until they are cooked and rise soft and fluffy.
Tip: To prevent water from dripping onto the buns while steaming, use a cloth to cover the top of the pot or tie a cloth around the lid of the steamer.

Final Product
The lovely rose-shaped buns with bright pink color look extremely eye-catching.
When eaten, you will feel the soft, fluffy dough with a fragrant, rich, and mildly sweet taste from the milk sugar that will surely make you fall in love!
How to Choose Beautiful, Safe Beets
- Prioritize selecting firm beets that are not soft, with intact outer skin and still have the soil covering.
- Choose beets with a round bottom as they usually have a sweeter taste, while beets with a flat bottom tend to be less sweet.
- Select beets with fresh stems and leaves; when pressed, the body should be firm, solid, and have a characteristic fragrant smell.
- Avoid purchasing beets with wrinkled skin; if pressed, they feel soft and watery as they may have been stored too long and are no longer fresh.
